Machines

Will you remember me
The way I was, when I was free?
An open book that we could read
Together

Will I haunt your dreams?
A mocking bird with broken wings
A burned out barn, an empty swing
Forever

Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes
Forget her

Moonlight upon her face
A story book of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place
Together

Will we remember this?
The way it was or how it is
What we love or what we miss
Forever

Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from whence we've cast
And let our boats go sailing past
Untethered

One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning, one fine morning
The machines are gonna cut us down
